We’re hoping that we don’t get hit by the frost,” says Dan McLaughlin, owner of <a href="http://www.robertclayvineyards.com/">Robert Clay Vineyards</a> in Mason, Texas. His Chardonnay grapes were coated in ice on Monday after temperatures dipped into the 20s.<br/><br/>
After a warm February, there were a high number of growing days. The grapes started “bud swell” early and could break bud early, he said. “Hopefully they don’t break bud today because we would be in trouble tomorrow.”

<div class='jive-rendered-content'><p><span>Entranced in a deep sleep, I felt my pre-teen son press his nose into my cheek. It was 4:30 a.m. His words melted my heart. “Mom,” he whispered, “Today is going to be AMAZING!”</span></p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;">&nbsp;</p><p><span>It was our second visit to the University Of Central Florida (UCF). We had an appointment to meet with a team of students who, in their spare time, create 3-D printed limbs for children.</span></p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;">&nbsp;</p><p><span>In the previous months we had become connected with the team, called Limbitless Solutions, through the Enable network. Our son, Wyatt, learned of the team through a friend’s suggestion.</span></p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;">&nbsp;</p><p><span>In truth, I felt Wyatt didn’t need it. He had learned to adapt. We had tried prosthetics when he was younger. He had abandoned the false limbs within months. His main interest was to create a shocking response from on lookers – by pulling it off in the grocery store.</span></p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;">&nbsp;</p><p><span>In truth, we had traveled a long and arduous journey out of Autism. Wyatt had been non-verbal and non-compliant until he was almost 7. As we put Autism Spectrums in the rear-view mirror, our efforts were consumed with jam-packed therapy sessions. In time, we reached therapy burn out, and our spear time turned to indulging his afterschool interests: theatre and science.</span></p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;">&nbsp;</p><p><span>The anticipated visit was full of what Wyatt loved: science, media interviews, and the chance to be around college students. And yes – he was excited about the promise of a new limb. His wishes were simple: hold his hand, clap with two hands, drive a car, do a summersault, dance with beautiful girls, and ride a bike.</span></p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;">&nbsp;</p><p><span>For me, it was a mix of emotions, and anxiety. On one-hand I felt like I learned long ago that I did not need to “fix” my son. Through the process of several events – I learned to accept my son’s limb difference. I found that attitudes were the real disabilities. I had worked hard to arm my child with the fearless faith that he could do anything.</span></p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;">&nbsp;</p><p><span>On the other-hand, I also loved that Wyatt was leading the change. He was the one who convinced my husband and me that he needed to get a bionic limb.</span></p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;">&nbsp;</p><p><span>That morning our friend, Trudie, drove us to UCF. Wyatt has changing radio channels and talking rapidly. His exuberance could have powered the SUV to Orlando and beyond!</span></p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;">&nbsp;</p><p><span>Wyatt’s excitement revolved around seeing his new best friends, Albert and Tyler, and meeting young Alex Pring. Alex was the first child the team fitted with a 3-D printed limb. And yes, he was excited to see what it would be like to have two hands.</span></p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;">&nbsp;</p><p><span>We arrived just in time for TV interviews. In that instant, I had to remind myself that Wyatt was once withdrawn, non-verbal and afraid of everything. There he was talking to TV reporters, interacting with college students and showing off the temporary limb.</span></p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;">&nbsp;</p><p><span>At one point, a reporter asked me, “What is it like to see Wyatt with his new limb?” I confess it was not an emotional moment. This really surprised me. The truth - I loved seeing my social son thrive!</span></p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;">&nbsp;</p><p><span>Yes, I am grateful for the gift of a limb. However, what made me appreciative was the glowing acceptance of others. Wyatt was being celebrated. The adoration of college students was an affirmation that money can’t buy. He was wrapped in the joy of leading and advising students on how to help children like himself.</span></p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;">&nbsp;</p><p><span>Wyatt felt like he was making a difference for himself and other children. His sincere empathy and compassion was conveyed through his conversations and actions with the team.</span></p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;">&nbsp;</p><p><span>As we prepared to leave, Wyatt said it best, “Mom, I can’t wait to see what I will accomplish with my new arm!” He continued, “I want to be just like Albert and Tyler! I want to go to UCF and help other kids just like me!”</span></p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;">&nbsp;</p><p><span>We are excited about the gift of a limb – and the limb-it-less possibilities it will bring to Wyatt and others.</span></p></div>university_of_central_floridawyatt_falardeaulimbitless_solutionsenableTue, 03 Mar 2015 01:01:46 GMTcynthiafalarhttp://ireport.cnn.com/docs/DOC-1221067?ref=feeds%2Foncnn2015-03-03T01:01:46Z2015-03-03T16:24:31Zhttp://i.cdn.turner.com/ireport/sm/prod/2015/03/02/WE01194701/3533380/1011299mov-3533380_sm.jpghttp://i.cdn.turner.com/ireport/sm/prod/2015/03/02/WE01194701/3533380/1011299mov-3533380_sm.jpghttp://i.cdn.turner.com/ireport/sm/prod/2015/03/02/WE01194701/3533380/1011299mov-3533380_md.jpgvideohttp://ht.cdn.turner.com/ireport/big/prod/2015/03/02/WE01194701/3533380/1011299mov-3533380_web_flv.flvhttp://ht.cdn.turner.com/ireport/big/prod/2015/03/02/WE01194701/3533380/1011299mov-3533380_web_flv.flvhttp://ht.cdn.turner.com/ireport/big/prod/2015/03/02/WE01194701/3533380/1011299mov-3533380_web_flv.mp4http://ht.cdn.turner.com/ireport/big/prod/2015/03/02/WE01194701/3533380/1011299mov-3533380_web_flv_edge.mp4http://i.cdn.turner.com/ireport/static/themes/custom/resources/irb/on_cnn_bg.gifhttp://i.cdn.turner.com/ireport/static/themes/custom/resources/irb/on_cnn_bg.gifImpact Your WorldCNN InternationalMy lifehttp://ireport.cnn.com/people/cynthiafalarLimb-it-less Possibilities Found at UCF27.6386434 -80.3972736Snowman Family Visits Huntington Beach, CA!http://ireport.cnn.com/docs/DOC-1221120?ref=feeds%2Foncnn

<div class='jive-rendered-content'><span>It was a warm afternoon on the edge of the small Rajasthan desert city of Jaisalmer. She was dressed in satins and silks of vibrant yellow and red, and she had the longest eyelashes I’d ever seen. As I approached, she sneezed and then spit at me. However, since the “she” was a camel, I was not entirely surprised. Camels sometimes spit as a display of dominance or if they are stressed. I think she was simply tired of being ogled by admirers during the recent Jaisalmer Desert Festival in western India. </span><br/><br/><span>The Jaisalmer Desert Festival, usually held in early February, is a three-day long extravaganza of dances, music, culture, and interesting competitions held each year in the place known by many as “the Golden City.” Jaisalmer, a World Heritage Site, is a picturesque city in the heart of the Thar Desert where nomads still roam and locals proudly maintain their centuries-old culture. The festival is unique because of its striking setting in this ancient city crowned by a 12th century fortress and because of its competitions, which include a "Mr. Desert" pageant, a turban-tying contest, camel races, camel polo tournament, tug-of-war, a beauty pageant, and a “best moustache” contest. </span><br/><br/><span>The festival, which is organized by the Rajasthan Tourism Development Corporation, starts with a parade out of the gates of the fort to a nearby outdoor stadium for the start of the contests and presentation of awards. The procession includes regally-dressed men and women on colorfully-decorated camels, flag bearers, dancers, musicians, and costumed performers. Local women and girls are dressed in their most colorful saris and shining jewelry, while it appears the men have oiled up their long mustaches in fine Rajasthani style. Behind the stage in the big open spaces of the stadium, children howl with laughter as they take camel rides. Although there are foreign tourists present, the entire event has the look and feel of an authentic local festival. After a break in the late afternoon, the proceedings begin again in the evening with concerts of traditional and modern music as well as occasional fireworks displays. </span><br/><span> </span><br/><span>Jaisalmer has an abundance of good hotels and restaurants tucked away in its narrow streets and alleys and is easily reached by air, rail, or by car. In addition to observing the festival events, travelers can spend hours wandering in and out of the many small shops, touring the fort or the city’s ornately carved havelis (palaces), or taking a camel trek out in the desert. </span><br/></div>camelindiajaisalmerphoto_clubfestivalrajasthanphotographyMon, 02 Mar 2015 18:24:10 GMTMattSimshttp://ireport.cnn.com/docs/DOC-1221087?ref=feeds%2Foncnn2015-03-02T18:24:10Z2015-03-03T19:15:21Zhttp://i.cdn.turner.com/ireport/sm/prod/2015/03/02/WE01194588/3533133/IMG4351jpg-3533133_sm.jpghttp://i.cdn.turner.com/ireport/sm/prod/2015/03/02/WE01194588/3533133/IMG4351jpg-3533133_sm.jpghttp://i.cdn.turner.com/ireport/sm/prod/2015/03/02/WE01194588/3533133/IMG4351jpg-3533133_md.jpgimagehttp://ht.cdn.turner.com/ireport/big/prod/2015/03/02/WE01194588/3533133/IMG4351jpg-3533133_web_jpg_tz.jpghttp://ht.cdn.turner.com/ireport/big/prod/2015/03/02/WE01194588/3533133/IMG4351jpg-3533133_web_jpg_tz.jpghttp://i.cdn.turner.com/ireport/static/themes/custom/resources/irb/on_cnn_bg.gifhttp://i.cdn.turner.com/ireport/static/themes/custom/resources/irb/on_cnn_bg.gifTravel photo of the dayTravelhttp://ireport.cnn.com/people/MattSimsRajasthan Desert FestivalLeonard Nimoy - Lived long and prospered.http://ireport.cnn.com/docs/DOC-1221053?ref=feeds%2Foncnn

Very little is known about where they came from, but they pay tribute to the late Leonard Nimoy, saying 'He did' live long and prosper.
At least three billboards are known to exist and <a href="/people/jdrafanan">jdrafanan</a> came across one Sunday in Atlanta.
UPDATE: The billboard company Outfront Media (formerly CBS Billboards; CBS owns 'Star Trek') were behind the tributes: 'As a company, we at OUTFRONT put up the boards. Lead by our Art Department we decided to pay tribute to a man who lived long, and prospered.
Millions of fans globally loved Leonard Nimoy. Our medium, with its ability to communicate almost instantaneously, would be a great way to display a fitting and timey tribute to the man, so we dedicated our boards to promote the simple yet effective message. We’re glad it’s being noticed!'

<div class='jive-rendered-content'><span>Despite spending 1.5 million pesos to put on a party to end all parties, Argentine President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner couldn't pull the people out of the suburbs. </span><br/><br/><span>Even free food, free clothing transportation and free hotel rooms weren't enough to lure supposed Kirchner supporters out on an overcast Sunday in Buenos Aires. </span><br/><br/><span>One Argentina Federal Police spokesperson estimated the turn-out between 15,000 and 20,000. Even if the figure were doubled, it is still a far reach to match the 400,000 that turned out to honor deceased prosecutor Alberto Nisman on February 18. </span><br/><br/><span>Nisman, who had been assigned by Kirchner's predecessor, and husband, Nestor Kirchner, had spent the last twenty years investigating the AMIA, Jewis Center, bombing in Buenos Aires in 1994. Nisman had wrapped up his investigation and was hours away from presenting his findings to the judiciary when he was found dead from a gunshot in his apartment in the upscale Puerto Madeuro barrio of Buenos Aires. </span><br/><br/><span>The demonstration today was to show support for Kircher as she made her last speech to Congresso. The speech, similar to the American President's State of the Union Address, drew attention in this South American country because it will be the last time Kirchner speaks to Congressional opening meeting. Her term expires in October 2015 and she is forbidden by the constitution from seeking a third term. </span><br/><br/><span>The street leading up to the Argentine Congress was empty and the majority of the participants were packed into Congress Square immediately in front of the 18th century building.

<div class='jive-rendered-content'><p>Growing up Spock was always a outsider, while logical had difficulty interacting and really being part of the team in many ways. I am dyslexic and that was a challenge I shared in many ways with Spock. Yet even when he was teased for his mind, appearance and background, he would always be proud of who he was and show in his own way love and compassion towards all living things. He didn't hate, he was accepting and strived to always learn more and try not to judge others. He was a role model for anyone who has ever felt like a outsider or different. His character and philosophy helped give me strength in my own self to develop into the person I wanted to become.</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;">&nbsp;</p><p>When I heard he died I very upset. I had joked for years only two celebrity's when they died I would be really upset Mel Brooks and Leonard Nimoy. I worked the whole day and when I finally got home just started crying. When I went out with friends later that night I actually wore the Star Trek shirt in the picture with a black ribbon on the side of my left arm. I will probably do a Leonard Nimoy-Spock marathon this weekend.</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;">&nbsp;</p><p><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">I did the photo because to me his character is a symbol for logic and humanity.

Spock had a philosophy which outsiders could accept and grow up with in order to become great people. As a character all people could related to his challenges whether it was in his social interactions, way of thinking, or feeling of isolation. Spock will always be a World Icon. Leonard Nimoy in his way lived live with love, compassion, logic and humanity. He was a beautiful person who inspired people to do the same. His death is a great loss and yet his legacy is truly astounding.</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;">&nbsp;</p><p><span>Thank You Spock for being a Hero that anyone could look up too. This is a sad day for all Geeks, Nerds, Dorks, Weirdos, and just people who needed a Spock in their lives.

He grew up watching 'Star Trek.' 'I will definitely remember him every time I make decisions between logic and emotions, that Leonard Nimoy and his character Spock have greatly taught us to gauge in between.'

<div class='jive-rendered-content'><span>Sitting and waiting for my friend so we can go to dinner. Still saddened by Nimoy's passing. Someone asked me today why I'm sad. As a kid, I was very awkward and shy. I was teased a lot, even bullied. I was never in my element. Despite my wonderful family, I felt out of place. I sought solace and escape in my enjoyment of Star Trek. I was so entranced by Mr. Spock and his logic. In my youth, I tried to emulate him so that I wouldn't feel the torment of my social inadequacies. As a child, I use to think I could be like Spock, like a Vulcan, I could purge emotions. Of course, it never worked. Lol. In Star Trek, well Spock, I found a sort of a "friend." And I've been a huge Nimoy fan since age 5 so it's kinda like losing a friend. So, to Nimoy, I say thank you for being "my friend." Giving me the escape I needed and for being the greatest of science fiction characters, Mr. Spock. The world isn't as bright with you not in it. RIP, my hero.

Not as Spock. We didn’t lose Spock since he continues to live on through the TV series and the movie. But we did lose Leonard. He was a rarity in Hollywood. He was an actor and director who no one can say one bad thing about.'
